Slow Cooker Southern Style Pork Ribs

byLori HartonDecember 23, 2013

With the snow falling and the temperatures dipping into the teens, my slow cooker is being used often. I love the way the house smells when something is in the slow cooker. It’s just a warm homey feeling to cook up a soup or a chili when it’s cold. And we all know just how hectic this time of year is. I still can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve already! If you have family coming over and things are busy, this “set it and forget it” recipe will please everyone without slaving away in the kitchen.

Sometimes I’m not able to make the whole meal from scratch and McCormick’s slow cooker seasoning packets really come in handy. These handy seasoning mixes take the guess work out of it and are so convenient. A couple of Sunday’s ago, I set this meal up before I left for church. We love pork ribs and I know just how tender they turn out when cooked either in a smoker or a slow cooker. The ribs made here fell off the bone they were so tender.

The slow cooker southern style pork ribs that were made here were so tender, moist and had a sweet tangy flavor that was a great compliment to the pork. By adding large chunks of onion, it gave the sauce lots of extra flavor without overpowering it. I prefer red onions for this very reason. I served this with corn on the cob since it seemed so appropriate with this recipe.

So there you have it. A simple recipe that will make everyone happy but won’t keep you in the kitchen for hours.

Hi – found you from the Pincentive Blog Hop. Happy to have discovered you. Printed this recipe. I tried to Pin it, too, but said the image was too small. No worries — just fyi. My daughter will love this recipe.
Happy New Year,

I believe life should be experienced and with that experience comes adventure and discovery. I take that philosophy into the kitchen. I enjoy creating new recipes and thinking outside the cookbook. I live in the wonderful state of Utah with my husband, 4 cats and an African Grey Parrot.
